flashback…2006
Saturday, December 30th, 2006This post will not discuss about the much hyped rempits, mansions, angkasawan, or Kita Boleh attitude. 2006 will be over soon and all around the world, people will be celebrating 2007 together with the Johor people. Yeah! It’s my first time in these 5 years to actually enjoy Jan 1 as a public holiday. 2007…another 8 more years to WW3 (if wat the time traveller said is true). A sum up of 2006 news that interest me:
